Check out this great post over on Aaron Hoos blog on if social networking sites were college students. In a word, it's awesome.

• Classmates.com: the self-absorbed senior who's been attending college for 8 years to get a 4 year degree
• MySpace: once the most popular student in school ... put on some weight and sold out to "the man"
• Facebook: the great looking guy that has it all ... his popularity on the rise ... but in ten years ... he'll feel empty inside
• Orkut: doesn't speak English ... and he's not good enough to play the exotic angle to get dates
• Bebo: the off-campus student no one has heard of
• LinkedIn: he's mostly talk and optimistic dreams but he has to work twice as hard to get the same marks as everyone else
• Xing: he's a little awkward around the girls and he sometimes forgets to wear matching socks
• Plaxo: he talks a big, big game but he didn't make the football team and he's not on the dean's list
